Free will Argument against Divine Providence

Your excuse is to make 'libertarian' and 'free will' synonymous. This means your conclusion would read like this:

" C) Therefore, in the worldview of an Abrahamic monotheist there can be no certainty regarding the 'free will' concept of free will's truth at any given point. "

Sounds a bit silly now, doesn't it?

Logic without reason? I may as well sit around at night and do arithmetic with only the aid of my toes (basis for the decimal system????).

Logic is a tool, nothing more. If one of the premises is false, then the conclusion based on the argument can be dismissed (note: the conclusioon may still be true, but not for the reasons given if a premis is untrue).
